| Assertion (A): | Carbon forms two oxides \(CO\) and \(CO_2\) where \(CO\) is neutral whereas \(CO_2\) is acidic. |
| Reason (R): | \(CO_2\) will combine with water to give carbonic acid and \(CO\) is soluble in water. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behavior is that graphite :
| 1. | is a non-crystalline substance. |
| 2. | is an allotropic form of diamond. |
| 3. | has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers. |
| 4. | has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds. |
